Director and cast
Critics on Rotten Tomatoes
Top critics, in their words
... both emotionally captivating and elusive ...
Subtle and morose to a fault, in the end it's just Junebug, another Sundance downer, without the heart.
Ira Sachs' story of hereditary malaise, passed from father to son, will disappoint anyone looking for a propulsive narrative or slam-bang excitement. But it will amply reward patient viewers who prefer a slow burn.
[Torn's] acting so well he not only creates this character, but makes him into an object lesson.
